Daily Picture: Dynasty Down Memory Lane

I recently came across this great picture of Joan with Michael Nader (Dex Dexter) and Catherine Oxenberg (Amanda Carrington), and will be posting it in the Dynasty section of the website.

Website New Section - Lobby Cards

I am currently going through a number of Lobby Cards from films that Joan starred in and will be adding these into a new section on the website.

Lobby cards originate from the USA, and usually measured 11"x 14" and consisted of a title card and up to 8 cards depicting scenes from the film.
Mexican versions which I will also feature on the site had vivid colours and artwork and were different to American ones.

English (UK) cards were often called the same but were smaller, usually 10"x8" and were known as FOH (Front of House) cards.

Below is a title lobby card for the film The Wayward Bus, which Joan starred in alongside Jayne Mansfield, Dan Dailey and Rick Jason.  Other Lobby cards can be found on the blog using the search engine.

Happy Birthday Joan

Happy Birthday Joan - have a great day.

On The Newstands - 13 April

Today's post takes us back to 1991, and 2 magazines, both English as that was the weekend that saw the start of Joan's new series, "Tonight at 8:30", 8 mini plays by Noel Coward for the BBC.

 

Radio Times, featured Joan on the cover as Lady Maureen 'Piggy' Gilpin the character Joan played in the first episode of the series, "Hands Across the Sea", with John Nettles, Miriam Margoyles and Edward Duke. 

TV Quick was another UK TV Guide magazine which featured Joan on their cover that week.

 

On The Newstands - 11 / 12 April

Apologies about the absence of yesterday's post  - I was going to feature a Turkish magazine cover of Joan called Hayat from 1959, but having spent all morning going through storage crates, I couldn't locate it and believe it is still in a large crate of magazines I have at my parents home.  Will check and hopefully feature it as a post very soon.


As I do not have a magazine for today in the archives, I am featuring one that would have been on sale for the month of April.

  Eros, an American men's magazine featured this lovely shot of Joan on their cover of the April 1983 issue.  Not surprising it sold like hotcakes.

 

TV Appearance - Loose Women 12 April 2013

 

Joan looked sensational in her final appearance of the week promoting her One Woman Show, this time on ITV's Loose Women, a programme which Joan has appeared on many times.
 

On The Newstand - 10th April

And on German magazine, Neue Post, Joan was featured as Alexis in a scene from a forthcoming episode of Dynasty at the wedding of her son, Adam Carrington (Gordon Thomson) to Dana Waring (Leann Hunley)
